my surgery is now February 23rd!!! I start the liquid diet on the Feb 8th and this will truly be a test of wills. I've never done an all liquid anything for more than a few hours, so for 14 days...ouch...just looking for others who will be going through the journey this month as well...

Hi,

My surgery is scheduled for February 24.

When do you have to start your pre op liquid diet ?

I start it on Feb. 10. It's going to be really hard because I leave for PV Mexico on Feb15. I will be doing my pre op diet at an all inclusive resort there. All that food!! Surgery is the 24 and I fly home March 1.

Oh wow, I see a lot of people are going to Mexico for this surgery. I am very thankful that my insurance covers it 100% - I wish you luck! !

Thanks :-) I can't wait! Just need to sort out what I need for hospital and after the surgery! I dnt know where to behind!

Febuary 15, and on day 3 of pre-op liquid diet. Brutal is the best word to describe it. I'm 550lbs truly hoping this helps me get down there. The fatigue during pre op diet is insane for me. Not to mention I hate artificial sweeteners so what I drink is very limited. Struggling big time.

I'm going to be struggling just like you so your not alone, I can't even imagine. I'm worried about the fatigue too because I have to work and my job is seated but fast paced and stressful uggg this is the part of the surgery I dread

Sorry I can't be more help. I'm really struggling at this point, I'm lactose intolerant so the shakes are just brutal too. I just keep trying to stay focused. I know I need this so that helps but the stomach pain and fatigue is crazy. And for some odd reason I cannot stop going to the bathroom even though I've only had 3 protein shakes a day for 3 straight days. Maybe my body is just flushing I don't know.

My surgery is scheduled for Feb 8th. I've been on the pre op diet for almost 2 weeks and after the first few days its not so bad. Good luck everyone

They do have soy based shakes. Maybe that would be better
